Akasaka hotels & places to stay

We stayed in this hotel from Nov to Dec 2009. The rooms were clean and location was very convenient. The staff knew how to speak English and were very nice and helpful. And just across the street was Tokyo Metro "Akasaka-Mitsuke" Station although only two lines pass through. The metro lines are Ginza Line and Maranouchi Line. The part I loved best about this hotel was that even after midnight the place is alive, illuminated due to winter illumination and there is Mc Donalds accross the street and 7-11 Just on the Ground Floor. This hotel is a 3.5 star to 4-star hotel probably due to its location, but in terms of Room size and Quality, I would say it is comparable to an average 3 star Hotel. There is not much English channels and I did not find a swimming pool. There is a direct stop from Narita Airport Limousine Bus to and from this hotel. There are many shops just across the Hotel and there are many cheap restaurants just behind the subway station. I particularly loved the Vending-Type noodle house behind the subway station. Overall the place is very much lively, well lit and safe for first time travelers and this hotel's services are excellent. They even helped provide an in-tub seat for my grandmother and they took time to put a tub handle to help my Grandmother.

This was the first time for my partner and I to go travelling oversea's. We decided to stay in Akasaka for 6nights and we are so glad we did! I do not normally go off Tripadvisor comments as I work in hospitality myself so I know that it is not always honest however I cannot hold back from sending in my amazing experience. We took a chance in booking Centurion Hotel online but we are very glad we did! We had the time of our lives and the hotel/location was definitely a large contributing factor. Probably experienced every single bar/restaurant in Akasaka and were always able to just stumble down the street back home. The staff were lovely and always very friendly (even though we probably made them laugh a little bit). Would definitely reccomend this hotel for younger couples however it would suit everyone!

We chose Mystays Akasaka primarily for its value and location. We got a great price for our stay and relatively high quality room. The bathroom was well equipped, and the room while small, was cosy and had all modern furnishings. The queen size bed was a little uncomfortable typical hard mattress on a western bed, and hard as nails memory foam pillows. To be honest for the price we were quite happy with the room otherwise. The 7-11 downstairs is awesomely convenient and Akasaka subway Station is a 5 minute walk away, with Tameike-Sanno about 12 minute walk away, well positioned to get to most places in Tokyo.

My kids got so excited about this place. We're amazed on how beautiful the room is. It's huge with 2 king super comfy size beds, 4 bunkbeds and huge tatami area with 2 massage chairs.These chairs are like giving you a professional massage. It's great to have a masseuse waiting after a long day of walking. The staff are friendly and accomodating. There's a lot of food nearby. The bfast is so good for $10. It's difinitely our to go hotel next time we visit Japan. This place also walking distance to 2 train stations. There's also a nice shrine right accross the street.Please note: There are other Centurion Hotels. I am specifically reviewing Centurion Hotel Classic in Akasaka.

My girlfriend and I (along with a couple we were travelling with) spent 3 nights at the Centurion Residential Akasaka Hotel. This is a small, clean comfortable hotel with extremely friendly and helpful, english-speaking staff. Akasaka is much quieter than areas such as Shibuya & Shinjuku so it's a good place to find a quieter bar or restaurant to relax and recharge The hotel room was a litte bright at night, and you do get some street noise but not too bad - This is made up for with a very comfortable bed and a great shower. This hotel isn't big on frills, however is perfect if you are looking for somewhere to stay while you spend the majority of your time out and about exploring Tokyo. The front and back entrances of the hotel put you directly onto walking streets with plenty of nearby restaurants and bars in either direction you walk - it's also a 5 minute walk (probably less) from 2 separate subway stations with plenty of taxi waiting areas nearby if you need. Our group agreed that we'd look to stay here again on our next visit to Tokyo, nice comfortable hotel and great price.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay of 11 nights at this hotel in late March, early April 2013. Location. It is located in Akasaka, on a hill right behind Hie-Jinja, a major Shinto shrine of Tokyo. One can see the hotel from Sotobori-dori, the main thoroughfare that runs in front of the shrine. But there is no access to the hotel from Sotobori-Dori. By car, one has to drive into a side street then up the hill. On foot, it is best to go up the shrine and follow a hidden footpath to the main hotel entrance. This means that the establishment is pretty much protected from the hubbub of Sotobori-Dori. There is a secluded luxury to such a location. This is very Japanese (or French for that matter.) True luxury is never displayed ostentatiously but kept somewhat hidden. However, seclusion in this case does not mean isolation. Indeed, one simply has to go up to the shrine from the hotel, go down the main staircase to Sotobori-dori, and cross to the other side to find oneself in the action of the back alleys of Akasaka. Shops, restaurants, bars, nightclubs of all stripes. Going up Sotobori-dori, one soon runs into Aoyama-dori, another major thoroughfare lined with all manners of fancy establishments, for example a dealer for McLaren cars! In a nutshell, this location combines the best of both worlds: quiet uncrowdedness but not too far from the ‘action’ should one chooses to partake. This is a rare combination in Tokyo. Places like Shibuya and Shinjuku are quite lively but there, one could never escape from the crush of humanity. Finally, I enjoyed very much going through the shrine everyday as I came and went. Transportation. There is a subway station right below the hotel. One can take the elevator in front of the bell captain’s desk down to the station. Officially it is Tameike-sanno but like most subway stations in Tokyo, it is linked via tunnels to many neighboring stations. In this case, one could walk from Tameike-sanno to Kokkai-gijidomae, and even Nagata-cho and Akasaka

Got a really great room on the 32nd floor with a fantastic view of Shibuya and Shinjuku. What I really loved was the location - its really close to the Tokyo Metro Akasaka Mitsuke station and gets you connected with multiple JR and Metro lines. Good selection of restaurants and a nice garden. The Main tower has been around since the mid 1960s and though it has been clearly updated, you can still get an old school feel to it. Asides from being close to the tube and train, its close to restaurants and 24 hour convenience stores aplenty in the Akasaka area. If you wish, take a walk down Aoyama dori and you'll soon hit Roppongi and Omote Sando. Brilliant. Room was spacious, bed was comfortable. The bathroom was super clean as you'd expect of a Japanese hotel and everything worked. I enjoyed my stay.

This accommodation is better than what I expect. It worth for money. Below is some points that I am satisfied about this hotel. - Very near to Akasaka MRT station: only 300m from Akasaka station to this hotel. And Akasaka station is in the red line MRT which is very convenient to go to some famous locations in Tokyo. - Staffs is so helpful and polite. They helped me a lot, for example: booking a bus ticket to go to Haneda airport, etc. -There are many good restaurants around this hotel. - My room is a capsule room in 9 floor. I am very satisfied with the style of the room. I feel it's safe and cozy. There is a TV inside the room. Only one thing I don't like about this room, that is the girl in the bed above my bed, she came back the hotel very late and made noise a lot, she made me wake up and not easy to sleep again :( . - The toilet is extremely clean. There are a hair straightener iron and a hair dryer in the toilet. => Absolutely, I will choose this hotel again next time.

Stayed here with my husband and our 5 year old. Hotel was great. Staff were friendly and helpful. Loved the entire design and LOCATION. Omg we could not have asked for a better location. So its not in the heart of shibuya but its in Akasaka which is pretty near everywhere else. Ginza, Shibuya, Shinjuku.... Lots of family mart or 7-11 around. Don Quijotes too. 3mins walk to either Akasaka Station or Akasaka-Mitsuke station.

When I was booking a hotel in Tokyo I wanted to make sure that I was central, and when I was thinking central I meant Shibuya or Shinjuku. Mimaru Akasaka was perfectly placed in a nice area close enough to the metro stations that would take you all over the city. The staff at the hotel really went out of their way to accommodate, were super friendly and just made our stay enjoyable. The room that we were in was for four people (2 single beds, and 2 sofa beds) I stayed on one of the single beds and it was so comfortable. I believe they were memory foam mattresses (don’t quote me! ;)) My friends who stayed on the sofa beds mentioned how comfortable they were too. With everything you need in this apartment/hotel (kitchen etc) it really does make you wonder why you should book anything else especially with the convenience stores nearby where we bought breakfast to cook up in the morning. My only gripe with the room was that it didn’t come with complimentary tea or coffee (I really don’t have anything to complain about) there’s Starbucks and other coffee houses just down the road. Oh, and to top it all off they provide a smartphone with data and calls so you can take it out into the city with you, a lifesaver when trying to navigate metro stations etc Thankyou Mimaru Akasaka, I will definitely be coming back.

Quite a few bad reviews about this place are misguided. The rooms are small, that is true, but so are all hotel rooms in Tokyo when you compare them to any western hotel in the US. If you were planning to pile your wife and 3 kids into one of these rooms you're going to be very uncomfortable, but I'm pretty sure thats the case anywhere in Tokyo...Its just not for big families. Stayed on the 15th floor. I'd recommend a high floor as well for the fantastic view of the Tokyo tower. Hotel serves food but like any hotel its way overpriced. Go walk to akasaka and find plenty of options to eat. There is even McDonalds and a Hooters if you're so sad you can't order authentic Japanese. The most important thing when finding a place is good access to transit and this is one of the best. Several lines of the Tokyo metro go thru akasaka which is a 5 minute walk. From there, you can easily get anywhere in the city. We're a gay couple and the front desk people sort of looked at each other when we wanted to book a room together and share a bed, but they didn't hassle us or give us any trouble, it was just sort of a giggly, awkward moment between us and the hotel staff. Closest train station is Nagatacho, If you're coming from the airport...just figure out which lines you need to take to get to that station, and its up the hill.

Great hotel! I have used hotels and business hotels in various places in Tokyo for several years, but it is the best hotel with good staff response! After making a reservation, I had a question that I wanted to ask, and I exchanged messages several times, but since then I did a very pleasant response. We arrived earlier than check-in, but had you leave baggage immediately. The first floor is the front. The building was clean and the bathroom on the ground floor, sofa or table in the lobby, shelf of amenities, shelf of the brochure, elevator had a very clean and clean feeling. The room I stayed was very clean. Of course the bed make-up and amenities were complete, and even Panasonic's Steam Nano Care was provided. Hair iron and wrap dryer were also given in the bathroom. It is service more than price. The hotel has free Wi-Fi. There was an air purifier, a pot and a nice mirror with a light for makeup. There was no hotel which only this was fulfilling! It is service and hospitality more than price. A few minutes walk from Tokyo Metro Akasaka Station. If you walk a little, you can go to Akasaka Biz Tower. TBS is also right there. It takes about 12 minutes on foot to Akasakamitsuke Station, about 5 minutes to Akasaka Tameike Tower, and about 15 minutes to Tameike Sanno Station. There are roads that are slightly sloped, but walking is not a pain. Eating and drinking is easy as there are FamilyMart, McDonald's, Matsuya, Maruetsu Petit, TULLYS and Doutor Coffee near the hotel. If you come to Tokyo again, I will definitely stay at this hotel. Thank you for the great service.

I can honestly say that this is the best accommodation I've ever stayed at so far! 9 Hours is close to 2 stations, Akasaka-Mitsuke and Akasaka (both have different subway lines). There was a Family Mart and 7-11 nearby along with restaurants and some tax-free shops. They change the towels, pajamas, slippers, and toothbrush with toothpaste every day, plus they make your bed as well. A LOT of hairdryers and sinks are provided so there's always one for every guest. As the lockers and showers with toilets are located in the basement, the toilets are provided in the sleep pod floor too. Both the place and facilities are extremely clean. The only downside is there's no hot water to make a drink. The staff were VERY friendly. They can speak English so international travelers need not worry. And although I felt bad for bothering one of the staff at 2 in the morning to print my boarding pass, he made sure that it was not a biggie. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! I MISS TOKYO AND 9 HOURS ALREADY!!!

My husband and I have certainly stayed in bigger and more expensive suites, but we've never had the level of customer service we enjoyed here. We were showered with polite attention, champagne, a free sake tasting, delicious food up in the club (which was a part of the suite we booked), and polite attentiveness. The room and bathroom were also incredible. We overlooked the location of the original Imperial Palace, and taking a bath with floor to ceiling windows above the 30th floor was a treat. We also enjoyed the restaurant and cocktail bar. It was our last evening in Japan on our honeymoon, so we decided to splash out both on the hotel and on dinner at the contemporary Japanese restaurant. The food was delicious and the presentation innovative and playful. I think the only slight down note was the service in the bar area. The bar itself is stunning -- like the decor all over the hotel. However, it was incredibly busy and we had to ask for assistance twice. Besides that, perfect.

Firstly great location as it is very close to Nagatacho Stn which serves the Namboku, Hanzomon, Yurakucho lines and Akasaka-Mitsuke Stn which serves the Ginza and Marunouchi lines. These stations will get you very quickly to all the major spots of Tokyo, shopping or tourist attractions. The hotel itself was very nice for the 2 nights i stayed with great views as my room was on the 20th floor. Friendly staff, wifi, clean room and bathroom, thats all i wanted. Cannot comment on restaurants as i didnt use any of those facilities. Will definately keep this hotel on my list for a future visit

The ANA Intercontinental is really a tale of two stories. The Pros. The location is unbeatable within 10 min walk to 4 subway stations with access to many different lines to get around the city. It is conveniently located to bustling restaurant / nightlife hubs of Roppongi and Akasaka. Also it is connected to a commercial complex called Ark Hills which has about 10-15 restaurant options. The food we experienced was limited to the breakfast buffet and a Japanese breakfast but we thought both were high quality. The facilities are great, including a nice gym which is also well appointed, a few shops within the hotel (eg pastry shop and a cigar store), and a nice bar on the top floor. Lastly, the price was fantastic for the Christmas period. Frankly it was the best 4.5 Star hotel we could find for the price. The cons boil down to 2 things: the room quality (presumably only non-club floors?) is really not great; more similar to a 3.5 Star. Also front desk staff was slow.

Our room was small as expected in Tokyo but well organized and aesthetically pleasing. Hotel was clean and staff very friendly. There is 24hr free coffee downstairs and bottles water (though it's fine to drink off the tap in Tokyo as well, sometimes there is a chlorine taste to the tap water) . It is next to 3 subway stations very close by and easy connections to all the main areas of Tokyo as well as shinkansen and other inter City trains. The area (Akasaka) is a very nice place to walk around and is full of nice restuarants, izilayas and clubs. Hei shrine is 2 mins away and provision stores conveniently located

This hostel is hidden gem in tokyo, sorrounding by stores, convini, mostly 24 hours restaurants and izakaya, only 1 min walking distance to Akasaka-mitsuke station (100m), also near to BIC camera (its in front of Akasaka-mitsuke station I stayed in Deluxe capsule room, its recommended, because you still have space to put the luggage, and stand inside the room (deluxe capsule size is more lik 4m cabin) They give you not only flat tv in room, but also smartphone tab with high speed wifi not to mention, my deluxe cabin room have windows also I send my luggage from kyoto to this hostel, and they arrive earlier than me, the staff keep the luggage What i love the most about this capsule hostel is, their onsen bath and sauna room.. it feels great and relaxing to soak in hot onsen bath and sauna after strolling around tokyo city If you are on budget, and hate to do long walk from station to hotel, also curious with onsen, this place is a go!

A nicely designed boutique hotel. Rooms are on the small side, but that's expected for Tokyo. Although the rooms are small, it has everything you need in them! The location is also a plus - a mere 2 min walk from the akasaka-mitsuke station (a connecting station to most major lines in Tokyo). The hotel is also very quiet at night which was nice as it's not located on the Main Street but a smaller street behind. Overall, I was very pleased with my stay. Would definitely stay here if I visit Tokyo again!.

Cool and exciting hotel with unmaned receptionist and easy to understand instruction for self check in, nicely located in CBD Akasaka Area which means it’s very easy to find foods, bars, and convenience store. They even have bar right next to the hotel. Supported with LG Styler to dry clean your clothes and Handy Phone for free to use during your stay, which very useful for map and station finding However, the room size is quite tiny so organize your luggage is very important All in all, we’re very happy with the hotel and love it

There are too many positives to fit into 1000 characters. I booked a night at the Executive Zen for my wife's 30th birthday and from the moment we walked through the door we were treated like royalty. The staff were helpful and informative, the room had everything and more and came with stunning views of Mt Fuji and Tokyo Tower. The hotel staff contacted me before our staff and booked a table in the Sky Bar (which is a must) for pre-dinner drinks and the Tower Buffet for dinner. The only con to our stay, the food at the Tower Buffet did not reflect the price we paid for the food. The views were excellent from the 40th floor but it was a shame the food did not match it. However, that's not to say the food wasn't good, it just wasn't value for money. All in all we recommend this hotel, 10/10, and well worth the visit even if it for only one night.

This is a nice place. I stayed there for 5 nights and had a pleasant experience. The only 2 things need to be addressed are 1) staffs at the front desk speak very little English. I had problem with my booking and it took an hour to resolve the issue... mostly because of the communication; and 2) all guests cannot check in until 5 PM. If you have an overnight flight and arrive early morning (just as in my case), you will have to go wander in the city for many hours before you can check in. However, the hotel can store your luggage for free of charge. I had a long flight and wanted to take shower and change but I could not. That is a bit nuisance. Other than that it was a wonderful experience. I would stay at First Cabin Akasaka again and would be better prepared next time.
